DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Hereinafter, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail referring to the accompanying drawings.

FIGS. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27 and 29 are schematic views of the imaging lenses in Examples 1 to 15 according to the embodiments of the present invention, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 1, the imaging lens according to the present embodiment comprises in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens L1 having a convex surface facing the object side near an optical axis X, a second lens L2, a third lens L3 having negative refractive power near the optical axis X, a fourth lens L4, a fifth lens L5, a sixth lens L6, a seventh lens L7 and an eighth lens L8 having a concave surface facing the image side and negative refractive power near the optical axis X. An image-side surface of the eighth lens L8 is formed as an aspheric surface having at least one pole point in a position off the optical axis X.

A filter IR such as an IR cut filter and a cover glass are arranged between the eighth lens L8 and an image plane IMG (namely, the image plane of an image sensor). The filter IR is omissible.

By arranging an aperture stop ST on the object side of the first lens L1, correction of aberrations and control of an incident angle of the light ray of high image height to the image sensor become facilitated.

The first lens L1 has a convex surface facing the object side near the optical axis X and has a meniscus shape having a concave surface facing the image side. Therefore, spherical aberration, astigmatism and distortion can be properly corrected.

The second lens L2 has a convex surface facing the object side near the optical axis X and has the meniscus shape having a concave surface facing the image side. Therefore, the spherical aberration, the astigmatism, field curvature and the distortion can be properly corrected.

The third lens L3 has negative refractive power and has the meniscus shape having a convex surface facing the object side and a concave surface facing the image side near the optical axis X. Therefore, chromatic aberration, the spherical aberration, coma aberration, the astigmatism and the distortion can be properly corrected.

The fourth lens L4 has the negative refractive power and has the meniscus shape having a convex surface facing the object side and a concave surface facing the image side near the optical axis X. Therefore, the coma aberration, the astigmatism and the distortion can be properly corrected. The refractive power of the fourth lens L4 may be positive as in the Examples 8, 11, 14 and 15 shown in FIGS. 15, 21, 27 and 29. In this situation, low-profileness is more facilitated. Furthermore, a shape of the fourth lens L4 may be the meniscus shape having a concave surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side near the optical axis X as in the Examples 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 shown in FIGS. 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13. In this case, a light ray incident angle to the fourth lens L4 becomes appropriate and the astigmatism, the field curvature and the distortion are properly corrected.

The fifth lens L5 has positive refractive power and has the meniscus shape having a convex surface facing the object side and a concave surface facing the image side near the optical axis X. Therefore, the astigmatism and the distortion are properly corrected while maintaining the low-profileness. The refractive power of the fifth lens L5 may be negative as in the Examples 9 and 15 shown in FIGS. 17 and 29, and in this situation, it is favorable for correction of the chromatic aberration. Furthermore, a shape of the fifth lens L5 may be the meniscus shape having a concave surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side near the optical axis X as in the Example 3 shown in FIG. 5. In this case, a light ray incident angle to the fifth lens L5 becomes appropriate, and the coma aberration, the astigmatism and the distortion are properly corrected. As in the Example 10 shown in FIG. 19, the fifth lens L5 may have a biconvex shape having the convex surfaces facing the object side and the image side near the optical axis X. In this case, the positive refractive power of the both sides become favorable for the low-profileness. Furthermore, the biconvex shape suppresses curvature from being large, and effectively reduces sensitivity to a manufacturing error.

The sixth lens L6 has the biconvex shape having convex surfaces facing the object side and the image side near the optical axis X. Therefore, by positive refractive power of the both sides, the low-profileness is achieved. Furthermore, the biconvex shape suppresses curvature from being large, and reduces sensitivity to the manufacturing error.

The seventh lens L7 has the positive refractive power and has the meniscus shape having a convex surface facing the object side and a concave surface facing the image side near the optical axis X. Therefore, the astigmatism, the field curvature and the distortion are properly corrected. The refractive power of the seventh lens L7 may be negative as in the Examples 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 shown in FIGS. 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17, and it is favorable for correction of the chromatic aberration.

The object-side surface and the image-side surface of the seventh lens L7 are formed as aspheric surfaces having at least one pole point in a position off the optical axis X, therefore, the field curvature and the distortion are properly corrected.

The eighth lens L8 has the negative refractive power and has the meniscus shape having a convex surface facing the object side and a concave surface facing the image side near the optical axis X, therefore the chromatic aberration, the astigmatism, the field curvature and the distortion are properly corrected. A shape of the eighth lens L8 may be a biconcave shape having the concave surfaces facing the object side and the image side near the optical axis X as in the Example 8 shown in FIG. 15. In this case, the negative refractive power of the both sides is favorable for correction of the chromatic aberration, and the biconcave shape suppresses curvature from being large, and reduces sensitivity to the manufacturing error.

The image-side surface of the eighth lens L8 is formed as the aspheric surface having at least one pole point in a position off the optical axis X, therefore the field curvature and the distortion are more properly corrected and a light ray incident angle to an image sensor is appropriately controlled.

Regarding the imaging lens according to the present embodiments, it is preferable that all lenses of the first lens L1 to the eighth lens L8 are single lenses. Configuration with only the single lenses can frequently use the aspheric surfaces. In the present embodiments, all lens-surfaces are formed as the appropriate aspherical surfaces, and proper correction of aberrations is made. In comparison with the case in which a cemented lens is used, workload is reduced, and manufacturing in low cost becomes possible.

Furthermore, the imaging lens according to the present embodiments makes manufacturing facilitated by using plastic material for all of the lenses, and mass production in a low cost can be realized.

The material applied to the lens is not limited to the plastic material. By using glass material, further high performance may be aimed. It is preferable that all of lens-surfaces are formed as aspheric surfaces, however, spherical surfaces easy to be manufactured may be adopted in accordance with required performance.

The imaging lens according to the present embodiments shows preferable effect by satisfying the below conditional expressions (1) to (15).

The imaging lens in Example 1 satisfies conditional expressions (1) to (15) as shown in Table 16.

FIG. 2 shows spherical aberration (mm), astigmatism (mm), and distortion (%) of the imaging lens in Example 1. The spherical aberration diagram shows the amount of aberration at wavelengths of F-ray (486 nm), d-ray (588 nm), and C-ray (656 nm). The astigmatism diagram shows the amount of aberration at d-ray on a sagittal image surface S (solid line) and on tangential image surface T (broken line), respectively (same as FIGS. 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30). As shown in FIG. 2, each aberration is corrected excellently.
